He might not, after all, have caught the fellow. There were few people in the dark streets, but at length I met a man who gave me directions, and presently found my way back to my lodging place.
If I only had a lantern it wouldn't be so " her gaze fell upon the laborers' lantern that clattered aimlessly, uselessly against the stake. An instant later she had jerked it from its fastening with a cry of joy. "I'll send it back when they go for my trunks. What luck!"
"Come on, girls and boys; let's dig down to China if necessary, but let's get Kidd's old treasure chest." The young people scattered, looking about for probable places to dig. Dolly, a little unused to digging, began rather aimlessly to toss up the soil near by where she stood. "Oh, I say," said Jack Norris, "don't start in that way. Come along with me and let's find a place that looks promising."
The train and Kirkwood moved simultaneously out of opposite ends of the station, the one to rattle and hammer round the eastern boundaries of the city and straighten out at top speed on the northern route for the Belgian line, the other to stroll moodily away, idle hands in empty pockets, bound aimlessly anywhere it didn't matter!

By the time he had left the car and climbed the castellated side of Pine Bluff he was still miserably unhappy, but he had altogether lost track of the cause of his unhappiness. He strayed aimlessly along the grassy top of the Bluff, away from the road, and down a slight incline, into a sheltered hollow.
She had a vague sense of wanting to be brought into touch with him through the things which had been his, and for a while she wandered aimlessly about the room, laying a hand now and then on the objects which she knew he must have handled the last time he had occupied the room his toilet articles, the easy chair in which he always sat for a few minutes every night, reading a little before going to bed, the garments which hung in his wardrobe, anything on which his fingers had rested.
